I fear that my Asus p5AD2-E w/P4 is blown (it's been over 3 years), so I'm probably due for an upgrade.
I'd rather pay less money for an E8400 & 4GB DDR2, rather than the i7 & 6GB DDR3. Also, my needs aren't that extreme (some light gaming/photoshop/encoding).
That said, I'd like to not feel completely obsolete in 6 months.
Is it better to go with the i7, or stick w/Core 2 duo? (assume I don't upgrade again for another 3 years)
Thanks!
